one more question, did the piece of sheet metal you cut out of the roof have ridges in it? or was it flat?

 

[BrianDye]

Probably....

I used a drill to get the holes big enough..
Then I used a jig saw.

you ever get a pic of the final project, in and out pic?

 

[MDewell]

good job on the write up...gives me ideas..

someone should cut a whole like for the sunroof out of their x, and put a hinge so its a simple flip open sun roof. That's cost like $1 and have potential for win.

Had ridges
And no dont have a final picture.
But it doesnt leak at all or anything.

I would not install the old pop up 93/94 type, they don't seal well at the back, and the seal is obsolete. Do the 95-01 type, it's about the same labor, but you have to add one power wire and the overhead console with the switch in it.

I've though of doing that to my Ex's seeings how its bout the same amount of work and you get 2 styles to have the sunroof open. Either pop up or make it slide back under the roof.

Oh yes, the headliner will be a difference, I should have mentioned that. The later style needs more interior space, so you'd need to also get a headliner from a sunroof model. I don't have that, I'm looking for those myself.
